But it's been quite enlightening to learn just how extreme some addicts can be in defence of their habit. It's a reminder why we need to have laws to protect the innocent majority from the diminishing few who set their own needs above their neighbours' comfort and safety. |

It might be more to the point if you thought up some ways of answering the problem. It's almost certain you have habits others would happily ban.

He initiated a lively, entertaining thread though ;-) -- Interloper |

My opinion of smokers was formed when it was legal to smoke in cinemas. The smokers hand was invariably positioned so that the smoke did not drift towards his own face. I don't think 23 years exposure to office smokers has shortened my life but I do still wish they wouldn't do it. I have now survived a further 28 years with hazards limited to harvesting dust, chemical sprays and welding fumes:-) regards -- Tim Lamb |

That's another thing triggered by the perceived threat of addiction withdrawal. People are not persecuting you. They just want to lead their lives quite happily away from the stench and risk associated with your smoke. That is not persecution. People around you shouldn't know or care that you smoke, unless you tell them. The problem is that symptoms of addiction make it quite obvious and can make you an unpleasant person to be around - just like with alcohol addiction. Aside from the addiction symptoms smoking is physically unpleasant in and of itself. So you're free to indulge in your addiction. Do it on your own or with other smokers and no-one will mind, you're not bothering anyone. But don't be under the illusion that others should make efforts to accommodate you or accommodate the unpleasant smells and side effects of the addiction. |
